Ground textures are blurry, LOD System is too aggressive, and Loss of Detail in 2024 - streamed scenery looks worse than 2020

Your images are showing photogrammetry, not generic bing aerial textures.
Zoom level seems to be different too.

The ground textures (bing aerial imagery) are still pretty blurry compared to 2020, especially at a bit of distance.

I’m hoping the planned fix in SU2 will sort this issue once and for all.

I saw 2020 for the first time a month after playing 2024 and was shocked how much better 2020 is at rendering dense grass.
If we had skies, trees etc of 2024 and grass/ground of 2020 - pleaseplease. See screenshot - near EGZM Airstrip, same place, same time. 2020 looks miles ahead.

Idk bro, Both PG and the aerial textures have gotten significantly better after SU1 for me. Even at higher altitudes.

It was - I think - better in Beta just before SU1. But not 100% sure.

What’s sure: the quality of grass in 2020 as shown in screenshot is A LOT higher.

Even went to my office space where I have super low latency fast internet to make sure it’s not a bandwith thing. Deleted rolling cage to make sure it was not saved from a former session. Also checked in cloud gaming version.

Could only check on XBox though. Are you on PC?
Would you want to check the fields next to EGZM? It’s a nice area to fly in anyway. :slight_smile:

Edit: it’s also the color of grass. 2024 sometimes shows toxic non true to life colors. As visible in screenshot.

Internet access is fast, but the LOD is still not good. Blurry, out of focus textures. I hope they fix it.

Initially, it was better in the Sim Update 1 Beta. This video was posted above and shows how good it was in one of the first beta builds.

You’ll need to fly higher to test it; at lower altitudes, the textures on the ground are always sharp. Please take off and see how drastically the quality deteriorates.

i thought the blurries were better after su1
now i’m not so sure
i just flew over some really blurry textures (not pg)
and the airport textures when landing are still super blurry

I´m quite sure they are not at their full potential, for what reason whatsoever. One one things that defintely kills the fun for me. :neutral_face:
